Enforcement efforts appear to be having an impact because preliminary statistics indicate that the numbers of charges in two of the four main causal factors in motor vehi- cle collisions are down over the same period last year. What is alarming to police after this long weekend is that the number of stunt driv- ing charges on Ontario roads are up 71 per cent over the same period last year. Speeding and distracted driv- ing charges are down, how- ever police report the number of seat belt and impaired driving charges are up. Across the prov- ince, 478 seat belt charges were laid, and 83 people were charged with impaired driving. Four peo- ple lost their lives this week- end in fatal motor vehicle colli- sions; speed was a factor in two of the deaths, and in one of the fatalities, alcohol was involved. "I find the weekend statistics alarming. Following the OPP's annual Fall Seat Belt Campaign that began in late September and resulted in almost 5,500 seat belt related charges being laid, it is disappointing to leam that people are still not wearing a seat belt. Motorists in this province know that wearing a seat belt can save your life. k is senseless for anyone to be in a moving motor vehicle without buckling up. OPP offic- ers will remain vigilant beyond any traffic safety campaign to ensure that Ontario's roads are the safest in the country." Chief Superintendent Chuck Cox, OPP Highway Safety Division During Operation Impact Huron County OPP officers charged 114 drivers with Speeding, one driver was charged with Racing, three were charged with Impaired/Over 80 and two were served with Alcohol Wam-Range suspensions. During the Fall Seatbelt Cam- paign which took place from September 23 to October 9 Huron OPP officers charged 54 people with seatbelt violations. (HURON COUNTY, ON) - Huron County OPP officers continue to investigate a recent spike in the number of stolen vehicles. Just in the last couple days Huron OPP has had an addi- tional three vehicles and a trailer reported stolen. In each of these latest stolen vehicle occurrences the vehicles were left insecure with the keys inside the vehicle. On October 15 at approximately 2:15 a.m. a sleeping Moncrieff Road resident was alerted to his barking dogs. He looked out- side and saw both of his pickup trucks leaving his property. The owner attempted to follow the trucks however he lost sight of them at Newry Road. The thieves made off with a blue 2003 Dodge Ram valued at $3,000 and a grey 2004 GMC Sierra extended cab pickup valued at $3,500. The GMC Sierra pickup truck has a large roof rack with a ladder on it. In addition, there was a trench- ing machine valued at $5,000 in the back of the truck box.
